拍品專文

The iconography of the present figure, with bared fangs, bulging eyes, and unusual attire, make identification of the present figure difficult. In The Sensuous Immortals, Pal speculates that she perhaps represents a rakshasi, a semi-divine ogress belonging to the same class of demons as asuras. Less likely in his estimation is that she represents a dakini from the Buddhist pantheon.
